No airline operates a nonstop or even a single-stop Mumbai–Lima flight as a scheduled product in 2026. The most common itineraries use a two-stop routing: Air India or IndiGo to a Gulf hub (Dubai or Doha), then a connecting carrier to an onward European or North American hub, and finally LATAM Airlines or Avianca into Lima. A popular combination is Emirates to Madrid followed by Iberia to Lima. Total elapsed travel time is typically 24–30 hours including layovers, so booking connections with at least 2 hours at each hub is strongly advisable.
On the Mumbai outbound leg, IndiGo, Air India, and Air India Express serve Gulf hubs that onward-connect well to Latin America. Emirates (via Dubai) and Qatar Airways (via Doha) both have strong onward partnerships to Lima: Qatar codeshares with LATAM Airlines, giving a single-ticket option via Doha and São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU). Iberia via Madrid is another solid single-ticket option for the transatlantic leg. LATAM Airlines and Avianca are the dominant carriers within South America, including the Lima segment. Booking a single itinerary rather than separate tickets gives you protections if a connection is missed.
Mumbai to Lima covers approximately 17,500 km in a straight line, making it one of the longest city-pair distances in the world. The pure flying time across all legs totals around 20–22 hours in the air, but total door-to-door journey time including layovers is typically 26–32 hours. Routing via the US East Coast (New York JFK) tends to be slightly shorter in total flying hours, while routing via Madrid or São Paulo often offers shorter layovers with better flight timings for travellers from India.
Indian passport holders require a tourist visa to enter Peru. As of 2026, Peru does not offer a visa-on-arrival facility for Indian citizens; you must apply in advance through the Peruvian embassy or consulate. The tourist visa typically allows stays of up to 90 days and requires proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. Processing times are generally 5–10 working days. If your routing includes a transit through the USA, you will also need a valid US visa or ESTA (for US citizens, which does not apply here) — check transit visa requirements for each hub country you pass through. Visit /visas for more guidance.
Departures from Mumbai use Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). International flights depart from Terminal 2 (T2), which handles all international departures and arrivals; domestic carriers like IndiGo and Air India Express that connect onward to Gulf hubs also predominantly use T2. At the Lima end, Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) is located in Callao, about 11 km from Lima city centre. Lima's airport has a single integrated terminal; allow at least 45–60 minutes for transfer from arrivals to the city by taxi or Uber, as traffic can be significant.
Mumbai–Lima is a thin-demand route, so fares are generally higher than comparable distances to more popular destinations. Economy fares typically range from ≈ ₹80,000 to ₹1,80,000 for a return trip depending on routing, season, and how far in advance you book. Booking 10–16 weeks ahead tends to yield better prices. Peak travel to Lima (July–August summer in India, and December–January) commands premium pricing. Shoulder months like April–May and September–October can offer relatively lower fares. Setting fare alerts on FlightGPT and being flexible about your hub routing can unlock meaningful savings.
Baggage allowances on Mumbai–Lima itineraries vary by the operating carrier on each segment. Gulf carriers like Emirates and Qatar Airways typically allow 30 kg checked baggage in economy on international routes, while LATAM Airlines in economy often allows 23 kg on transatlantic routes. If your itinerary is booked as separate tickets, each carrier's policy applies independently and you may need to re-check bags at transit hubs. Booking a single itinerary through one carrier or a codeshare partnership usually means the most generous allowance applies throughout. Carry-on allowances are typically 7–8 kg per passenger.
No nonstop or single-stop scheduled flight connects Mumbai (BOM) and Lima (LIM) in 2026. All itineraries require at least two connections; the most practical routings go via a Gulf hub (Dubai or Doha) and then a second hub such as Madrid or São Paulo before Lima.
Pure air time across all legs is typically 20–22 hours, but total journey time including layovers is usually 26–32 hours depending on your specific routing and connection windows. Routing via New York JFK can shorten total flying time marginally.
Yes. Indian passport holders must obtain a Peruvian tourist visa in advance; there is no visa-on-arrival for Indian nationals as of 2026. Apply through the Peruvian embassy at least 2–3 weeks before travel. Visit <a href="/visas">/visas</a> for links to the official application.
Qatar Airways via Doha with a codeshare onward to Lima (often through São Paulo with LATAM) is a popular single-ticket option. Emirates via Dubai to Madrid, then Iberia to Lima, is another well-regarded routing. Both typically offer competitive fares and strong luggage protection as single itineraries.
Booking 10–16 weeks ahead is generally advisable for this thin-demand international route. Last-minute fares can be very high. Travelling in shoulder months (April–May or September–October) typically offers better pricing than July–August or December–January peak periods.
Yes. Indian passport holders transiting through any US airport — even without clearing US immigration — require a valid US visa or a C1 transit visa. If your routing avoids the USA (e.g., via Madrid or São Paulo), this does not apply. Always verify transit visa requirements for every hub country on your itinerary.
